If I may suggest, and this is just my opinion when traveling to DR, is it absolutely necessary to have the latest and 'greatest' technology as a cell phone? I agree with all our users/posters, CDMA is getting phased out slowly and surely will become extinct eventually, but is it just a fad or is there a need for smartphones in DR? For myself personally being that I only use my cell phones to make calls on the island, I just dont have the need or itch to surf the web or use data for anything out there. If anything keep it simple, buy a phone in DR one that you know will work, use it for calls and texting. Luckily for me I have a blackberry that works both here in the states and has a SIM card that works when I use CLARO or ORANGE in DR.
I too am surprised how much CDMA is still being used in the USA. Sprint and Verizon are the largest carriers of CDMA phones and I dont see them dissapearing any time soon...
